The SLOW LIFE Symposium is held by The Soneva Foundation and convenes business leaders, scientists, NGOs, renowned thinkers and policy makers to help accelerate progress towards environmental sustainability.

It takes place on Koh Kood, Thailand, on the 17th - 22nd of November.

The Symposium is an intimate event thatconvenes people with purpose: each and every participant is there because they are committed to positive change that is also good for business.

The 2016 SLOW LIFE Symposium will use the planetary boundaries to guide individuals, organisations and agencies through transformations the world has agreed to in 2015 – the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. We will explore how we can become more resilient and more confident in our long-term planning and how the planetary boundaries can help foundations, international agencies and businesses direct their funds and their strategies for more precise and scalable impact.
